Hawkins: National Reciprocity Would Be Greatest Gun Rights Boost Since Ratification of 2nd Amendment

National reciprocity for concealed carry would be the greatest guns rights boost since the ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791.
This is because the rights enshrined in the Second Amendment would recover their fullest expression to date via national reciprocity.

The Second Amendment did not create a right or any particular body of rights. Rather, it was put in place to protect rights that pre-existed in nature, rights that were given by God rather than created by government. (Government cannot create rights, only privileges). Breitbart News reported that Thomas Jefferson used the Declaration of Independence to make clear that the rights we have via nature are “unalienable,” which means they part of the very fiber of our humanity.

In other words, the fact that we were “endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable rights” means that any attempt to separate us from those rights is tantamount to separating us from our humanity.
